  • the present disclosure relates to electronic cigarettes, in particular to a case, and a battery assembly and an electronic cigarette having the case.
  • Electronic cigarettes are also known as virtual cigarettes, or E-atomizers.
  • the electronic cigarette is a heat-not-burn product.
  • the electronic cigarette is provided with efficacies similar to those of the ordinary cigarette.
  • Electronic cigarette can refresh the smokers and satisfy their smoking addiction, making them happy and relaxed.
  • the electronic cigarette has a battery detachably received in a case body, and a cover detachably mounted to the case for covering the battery.
  • one side of the cover is pivoted to the case body, and the other side is fastened to the case body.
  • the cover can't be retained in a certain position and will wobble easily while the case body is released.
  • the present disclosure relates to a case, a battery assembly and an electronic cigarette having the case.
  • the case includes a main body, a cover, and an elastic assembly.
  • the cover is pivotally mounted to the main body.
  • One end of the cover adjacent to the main body defines a groove.
  • the elastic assembly is located at the main body; the elastic assembly has a top portion being in alignment with the groove. The top portion is configured for supporting on a certain portion of the cover when the cover is rotated.
  • first, second, etc. appear in the present disclosure, they are merely for the purpose of description, but cannot be understood as the indication or implication of relative importance or as the implicit indication of the number of the designated technical features; therefore, features defined by “first” and “second” may specifically or implicitly include one or more such features.
  • a plurality of means at least two, for example, two, three, etc.
  • fixed may be fixed connection, also may be detachable connection, or integration; may be mechanical connection, also may be electrical connection; may be direct connection, also may be indirect connection through an intermediate, and may be internal communication between two elements or interaction of two elements, unless otherwise specifically defined.
  • fixed may be fixed connection, also may be detachable connection, or integration; may be mechanical connection, also may be electrical connection; may be direct connection, also may be indirect connection through an intermediate, and may be internal communication between two elements or interaction of two elements, unless otherwise specifically defined.
  • the present disclosure relates to a case for a battery assembly and an electronic cigarette, aiming to solve the problem of wobble in structure in related art.
  • a case 100 includes a main body 10, an elastic assembly 20 fixed on the main body 10, a cover 40 pivoted to the main body 10 via a pivot 30.
  • An end of the cover 40 pivoted to the main body 10 defines a groove 41.
  • the elastic assembly 20 is arranged in alignment with the groove 41, and the elastic assembly 20 is inserted into the groove 41 and supports the cover 40 in a certain position when the cover 40 is opened.
  • the elastic assembly 20 is stretchable.
  • the other end of the cover 40, away from the end pivoted to the main body 10, is fastened to the main body 10 via a fasten mechanism (not labeled).
  • the cover 40 can rotate with respective with the pivot 30, the top portion of the elastic assembly 20 is inserted into the groove 41 and supports on the certain position of the cover 40.
  • the elastic assembly 20 includes a housing 21, an elastic element 22 and an elastic rod 23 located into a receiving room 210 formed in the housing 21.
  • the elastic element 22 is fixed in the housing 21.
  • the elastic element 22 may be, for example, a spring, or an elastic strip, an elastic gasket.
  • the elastic rod 23 is secured on the elastic elements 22.
  • the elastic rod 22 has a top portion 220 protruding out of the top of housing 21 from an opening 212 to support on the certain position corresponding to the groove 41.
  • the opening 212 is defined in the housing 21 and communicates with the receiving room 210.
  • a blocking member 232 is located on the elastic rod 22, the blocking member 232 is configured to prevent the elastic rod 22 from dropping off from the housing 21.
  • the blocking member 232 may be, for example, a ring board or a square board or a rectangle board. If desired, the blocking member 232 is integrally formed in the elastic rod 23 to simplify the elastic assembly 20 structure, and be easily assembled.
  • the top portion 220 may have a spherical surface to make the cover 40 rotate smoothly.
  • the elastic rod 23 may be but not limited to a rubber.
  • the main body 10 is concaved to form a recess (not labeled), a sidewalls (not labeled) of the recess, and two opposite pivot holes (not labeled) on the sidewall for communicating with the recess.
  • the cover 40 extends a protrusion (not labeled) in accordance with the recess.
  • the protrusion defines a rotating hole 42 through the protrusion and allowing the pivot 30 to pass through.
  • the pivot 30 includes a base portion 31, and two limiting portions 32 respectively placed at two opposite sides of the base portion 31.
  • the limiting portions 32 can be elastically deformed.
  • the elastic assembly 20 further includes a torsion spring 50 sleeved on the pivot 30.
  • the pivot 30 and the torsion spring 50 are assembled to the cover 40, in detail, the pivot 30 is inserted into the rotating hole 42 and then the torsion spring 50 is sleeved on the pivot 30, that the base portion 31 is placed in the rotating hole 42, and the two limiting portions 32 expose out of the protrusion.
  • the cover 40 together with the pivot 30 and torsion spring 50 are assembled to the main body 10.
  • the cover 40 together with the pivot 30 and torsion spring 50 are positioned above the main body 10 that the protrusion is in alignment with the recess, and then the cover 40 is moved to the main body 10 gradually to make the protrusion gradually insert into the recess and the limiting portions 32 are pressed to deform.
  • the limiting portions 32 move to the rotating hole 42, the limiting portions 32 are correspondingly extended into the pivot holes to mount the cover 40 to the main body 10. And one end of torsion spring 50 is perpendicularly contacted to the sidewall of the recess; the other end of the torsion spring 50 is parallel contacted to the sidewall of the groove 41.
  • the elastic assembly 40 is placed into the main body 10 with the top portion 220 extending out of the main body 10 to be in alignment with the groove 41. Thus, the assembly of the case 100 is finished.
  • the cover 40 When the cover 40 is closed, the cover 40 is rotated to enable the end of the cover 40 away from the pivot 30 to close on the main body 10 via the fasten mechanism. At this time, the torsion spring 50 deforms because of twisting. It is to be understood that nearer the cover 40 is rotated to the main body 10, the stronger force is exerted to the cover 40 by the torsion spring 50.
  • the cover 40 When the cover 40 is opened, the cover 40 is released from the main body 10, the cover 40 is stably and rapidly rotated to a desired position because of elastic assembly 20.
  • the torsion spring 50 enables the cover 40 to rotate rapidly, the elastic element 22 and elastic rod 23 enables the cover 40 to retain stabilization.
  • the present disclosure also provides a battery assembly (not shown), the battery assembly includes the case 100 described above and a battery received in the case 100. Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides an electronic cigarette (not shown). The electronic cigarette includes the case 100 described above and an atomizer coupled to the case 100 described above. Accordingly, the cover 40 of the battery assembly or the electronic cigarette can be retained stabilization.
